In a Freedom of Information case related to former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, District Judge Reggie Walton said on Friday that Judge Emmet Sullivan doesn’t have a lot of options in dealing with the fact that President Trump granted Flynn a full pardon, “unless he takes the position that the wording of the pardon is too broad, in that it provides protections beyond the date of the pardon.”

“I don’t know what impact that would have, what decision he would make, if he makes that determination that the pardon of Mr. Flynn is for a period that the law does not permit,” said Walton, according to the National Law Journal. “I don’t know if that’s correct or not,” the judge continued. “Theoretically, the decision could be reached because the wording in the pardon seems to be very, very broad. It could be construed, I think, as extending protections against criminal prosecutions after the date the pardon was issued. I don’t know if Judge Sullivan will make that determination or not,” Walton added.

Flynn, a former Army Lt. General and the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency under Barack Obama, pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI even though originally they had determined that he did not lie to them, and that his conversations with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. during the period between Trump’s election in 2016 and his inauguration in January 2017 appeared legitimate. But he got caught up in the Trump Russia-collusion investigation and pleaded guilty in order to protect his son from prosecution and to avoid being bankrupted by the process.

I predicted this.  The "Judge" in Phoenix refuse to drop the charges against Joe Arpaio after he was granted his Pardon.   It will take Sullivan's official refusal, and only then an appeal to the Circuit.  Sullivan will sit on this for months.

Emmet Sullivan has to be Barack Obama's no. 1 ass-kisser.

I hope this at least gets him an autographed copy of A Promised Land.

Past time to remove this judge who believes he rules the country and is unaccountable to anyone.

Some people just need a kick in the ass in order to get their attention.

Sullivan snarlingly dismissed the case yesterday.

Sullivan snarlingly dismissed the case yesterday.

He still needs to be removed from his position.

Sullivan snarlingly dismissed the case yesterday.

He needs to be impeached/removed from office.   Indulging in a personal vendetta is not a good look for a "judge".
